Skill Level

Everyone is on different skill levels. If I showcase my abilities to a random guy off the street, I’ll be able to affect him more than I would a person training for 20+ years in the internal structure. There is a difference in the skill level. This applies to everything. It does not mean that …

Mastery Mindset

Here are excerpts I found exceedingly interesting in the book “Mastery Mind-Set” (149171459X). Page 20-21 – Regarding Belts “If your club uses colored belts, know that this tradition only goes back to the 1940s, when Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, standardized a ranking system. This ranking system was later adopted by other arts. If …

Steam

This occurred to me after reading and trying out the Osho technique I wrote previously about. There isn’t a line in rising. It isn’t readily tangible. The line is formed by the constant energy being dictated to go up. It is similar to steam going from one vent, to another, directly above it. You can …

So I was working on the punching the other day and I decided to “go hard.” Doing combos, moving around, using energy – that kind of stuff. After a minute or two I was getting winded. I was sweating and though not actually out of breath, it got my heart racing. Then I started thinking …

Bone Alignment

I started working on a new concept: bone alignment. Think of the skeleton talking, moving – doing everything. Forget the joints, the muscles, the tendons and ligaments. Only focus on the bones. What are you moving? Bones. How are you standing up? Bone structure. I am doing this so that I can relax better and …

Vipassana Results

I did another Vipassana course. This has been my 6th one thus far. I did not get as much as I had previously because I did not work as hard. One thought kept coming to me: it is better to do this practice consistently rather than come here and “burn through” [my karma/ sanskaras]. The results that …

Fighting

This post’s title may mislead. I do not wish to speak of fighting per se but rather it’s nature. And specifically – a question as to the rationale people give for fighting; learning martial arts. Now, I was a person that wanted to fight before. I admit this. But the reason I was in that state …
